You don't need to stick with bash! There are many alternatives out there.

Not in the linked article are more popular alternatives like zsh, or the technicality of sh which exists everywhere yet is rarely used interactively.

I currently only use Busybox-Ash which comes with Alpine Linux. I've used Bash in Mint before but the only difference I've noticed between Ash and Bash is that Bash has completion.

I enjoy writing POSIX style scripts so I don't have too much motivation to switch it up.
